Does it happen with a true minimal config?

My best guess is to try commenting out

		path_display = { "smart" },

and see whether it works then.

[LamprosPitsillos]

Yes , that was it ! Should i leave this issue open , since i don't think it's an intended behavior of the path_display = { "smart" } ?

path_display = { "tail" } is also broken , and the others I tried also have some strange behaviors. I noticed that the buildin pickers of telescope follow the path_display as expected but file-browser seems to have a hard time with them.

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
	require('packer').startup {
		{
			'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
			{
				'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
				requires = {
					'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
					'nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim',
				},
			},
			-- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
		},
		config = {
			package_root = package_root,
			compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
			display = { non_interactive = true },
		},
	}
end

_G.load_config = function()
	require('telescope').setup({
		defaults = {
			path_display = { "tail" },
		},
	})
	require('telescope').load_extension('file_browser')
	-- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
	print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
	vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

Here is the minimal config i managed to make to reproduce the issue.

[BaneOfCode]

I also just had this same thing happen. It works on my other PC but when I pulled it to this one from git I started getting double slashes at the end of folders as well.

[vignesh0025]

Am also facing the same issue with "smart" path_display option in telescope;
